David 'Mr. Sensitivity' Frum declares shooting spree 'Just another American gun slaughter'

Could it be that the sensitivity training is starting to kick in? David Frum was among the very first to see the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre as a great platform for some political snark, tweeting, “Obviously, we need to lower the age limit for concealed carry so toddlers can defend themselves.” Frum held off slightly longer to politicize today’s shooting in Santa Monica, Calif., apparently throttling back the sarcasm to a level appropriate for around six shooting victims. Anyone else want in on this?

@davidfrum @CNN I suggest that all librarians, all people who use a library, all bus drivers, and all bus passengers be armed

@lizard51 @CNN Everybody should be armed. That way when a gunfight starts, we can really pile up the casualties.

@davidfrum They were enjoying their freedom. American exceptionalism.

@davidfrum @CNN I say we start arming children out of the womb, get rid of 10-day waiting periods, and make everyone dress like John Wayne

@davidfrum @lizard51 @CNN A circular firing squad. That's what they need.

@Toure @davidfrum Another gun owner whose Second Amendment rights are more important than the safety and lives of his victims.

If Frum took the extra time to hone his point, we’re afraid we still missed it. Was there some point at which we had the option to scrap the Second Amendment to prevent today’s shooting?
